iGowise Mobility, Bengaluru-based EV startup, is all set to premiere its crossover SUV Scooter BeiGo X4 in the Indian Market on 26th January, 2023. This unique e-scooter is an embodiment of eye-catching yet minimalistic design, ingenious engineering and state-of-the-art technology that can elevate user lifestyle by making urban commute comfortable & safe like never before.
When enquired about the unique design, “BeiGo eBike is based on the fusion of the beast & the bee. It draws inspiration from the beauty of the life nurturing honeybee at the same time built rugged & resilient like a mountain-antelope!” exclaims Suresh Salla, CTO & Chief of Design at iGo.
Talking of resilience, BeiGo X4’s real USP is its twin-wheel integrated power-train technology that facilitates on-demand self-balancing. ‘Always feet on-board’ is the perfect way to travel fatigue-free even in heavy traffic. Even on slopes. Even while reversing. “While many attempted to build a self-balancing scooter, iGo’s innovative engineering ingenuity is bringing this stabilisation without compromising on the performance & agility and without using expensive or high energy-demanding technologies” continued Mr. Suresh who holds more than 20 patents in mobility technologies.
150 KM practical range, 2500+ cycle ultra-durable fire-resistant LifePO4 batteries, 60L of boot space, spacious flat floor legroom, inbuilt pillion footrest and to top it all triple-disc anti-skid braking system make it a compelling proposition. It is as if the vehicle has been tailor-made for the Indian roads and Indian needs. “It’s what you get when a noble mission, user obsession & great execution come together” chimes in Sravan Appana, CEO of iGo. An alumnus of the ISB who built world-class technology products in fintech, cloud & IOT domains, Mr. Sravan joined hands with Mr. Suresh, a serial entrepreneur in the mobility space for the common mission of making two-wheeler mobility safer, smarter & accessible.
“Beyond exceptional engineering, our forte is in mobility technologies including smart BMS, ADAS, collision detection alarms & data-driven riding pattern detection. Utilising IOT & advanced AI technologies, we will introduce exciting cashbacks and rewards for incentivizing riders who demonstrate responsible driving patterns & safe road etiquette”.
Leveraging this connected technology, iGo plans further to introduce a unique proposition of zero-down-payment pay-as-you-go vehicle subscription. It is in talks with several EV financing partners to make safe mobility affordable to the masses. “A highly durable vehicle coupled with data-driven insights makes a radical difference in vehicle financing. It helps alleviate the biggest concerns EV financiers face today that of assessing vehicle condition & estimating resale value”.
This incredibly innovative crossover scooter is expected to be priced at an affordable introductory price tag of 1.1 Lakhs for the base-variant along with a 5-year warranty up to 1 lakh kilometres for the pioneer customers.
When enquired about the readiness to market, “We’ve run on-road testing for 1000’s of kilometres over multiple product iterations on diverse-terrains. We’ve also developed reliable tier-1 Indian vendors for all the major automotive components with meticulous focus on quality & availability of spares.” says Mr. Sravan
“iGo is the brand culmination of the non-compromising attitude, no-fuss lifestyle & distinctive personality of our rider. iGoan refuses to compromise safety for performance, comfort for space, reliability for affordability, community for convenience, a safer today for a greener tomorrow. Exactly why BeiGo X4 is the perfect companion that is as unrelenting as our rider” Mr. Sravan concluded.
